WP694424 Whirlpool Leak Limiter

The Natural Gas Limiter serves as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part for various Whirlpool dryers, including brands such as Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures compatible products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. This component is essential for controlling gas flow at the point where the gas supply meets the dryer, ensuring the burners receive fuel at safe levels during the heating process. It is designed to maintain precise control to avoid issues related to excessive firing.

When the limiter is not functioning correctly, several signs may appear. These include the dryer not reaching the desired temperatures, extended drying times, the presence of yellow flames that suggest an improper gas-to-air mix, and error codes related to gas valve performance. Common causes of these issues might be blockages from debris or mechanical deterioration of linkage parts. Replacing a faulty limiter helps in returning the dryer to its optimal performance.

This replacement part is specifically compatible with selected models from the KitchenAid and Maytag lines.
